I absolutely love elevated board runways. We had one at the Kansas Relays and my step moved back 3 feet because the sucker was so fast. Also, Nebraska has a killer indoor facility that I always liked to jump at.

Stillwater, OK is the windiest spot in the lower 48 states. 9 inch box and very fast runway.

Norman, OK indoors has the old board runway from the Myriad in Oklahoma City. Lots of big jumps off that runway - ask Lane Lohr about it.

I agree, indoor, Oklahoma is awesome with the mondo and the boards. This year they put in a permanent runway on the infield, since they built the new indoor athletic facility next door. Univ of Ark indoor is nice, I hope they moved that big screen TV that used to be behind the pit, little distracting seeing yourself running.

Outdoors: Univ of Texas hands down. Drake Relays because of all the fans doing a simultaneous clap. Abilene is ok with their deep box but when you wait all day to vault, you get tired.
